A few benefits to this style of auction - Buyer has the CHOICE to switch to any lot in the offering if he is outbid on his current choice; buyer does not have to deal with the "seller's order" of sale because all lots are offered and bid on simultaneously; and the buyer has true choices and more time to make decisions.

Standard Breeding Guarantee and Genetic Defect DisclaimerWe require that each consignor agree to the "Standard Breeding Guarantee and Genetic Defect Policies" endorsed the American Hereford Association. Should a defective calf result, buyer is responsible for reporting the defect and following through the association’s steps and protocol or other breed registry standards. If animal is verified to be defective by the American Hereford Association, buyer must submit a written copy of the verification to the Seller, The Wendt Group, Inc. and BuyHereford.com within 30 days after birth. Seller is responsible for refunding the purchase price in total or making an adjustment to the purchase price. This guarantee applies only to calves at birth that show signs of a genetic defect recognized by the breed association as there is not a test to determine if some genetic lines are carriers for a defect but do not show signs as an individual at birth. Unless an animal is listed on the individual breed association "genetic defect status list" the breed, breeder, and BuyHereford.com makes no representation of any kind as to whether an animal has a genetic defect. Consult with each breed association for more information. All transactions are between buyer and seller.
